We booked because of the destinations and the price. It was also the very first cruise my children ever took and did fine with it, but that was back when they had the trampolines and they were younger (elementary). Now, two of their friends and parents have decided to join us and it will be their first cruise. It will be fine, I am sure. They still have the rock wall and we have the ports (4 of them). We will bring some games to play, too, and there are shows. I'm also creating a Cruise Scavenger Hunt for parents vs. kids so that will give them something to do. After all, it is still an escape from reality and better than being bored at home! I am super excited! I just couldn't remember all that it had to offer, or what it didn't have, since it has been a while.
